Definitions
- This invention relates to an improvement in a waterproof device for an electric motor.
- this kind of waterproof device for the electric motor is disclosed in an unexamined Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 160968/1982, which has a construction as shown in FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawing.
- reference numerals 1 and 2 respectively designate a front bracket and a rear bracket of a starter motor, both being split in the axial direction of the electric motor and constituting the separate frame members therefor;
- a numeral 3 refers to a yoke;
- a numeral 4 refers to a magnetic switch;
- a reference numeral 5 indicates a dip-coated layer.
- the dip-coated layer 5 is formed by dipping the motor in a vessel containing vinylchloride solution. With this dip-coated layer 5, gaps at the fitting portions among the front bracket 1, the rear bracket 2, and the yoke 3 are perfectly sealed, whereby the waterproof function of the electric motor can be maintained.
- the waterproofed film of the dip-coated layer 5 tends to be peeled off the motor main body due to influence of heat change, or other causes to become unable to maintain its waterproofing function.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances and in an attempt to remove such disadvantage inherent in the conventional waterproof device for the electric motor.
- a waterproof device for an electric motor having a cylindrical motor frame body which is split into a discrete portions in the axial direction of th motor, characterized in that an annular elastic member is attached onto said motor frame body in a manner to cover the joined portions of the split frame body, and that a lead-out portion having an insertion port is formed in said elastic member to enable a power supply lead wire for said electric motor to be pushed into the insertion port.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevational view showing a conventional waterproof device for an electric motor
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are respectively a side elevational view and a partial longitudinal cross-sectional view of the waterproof device for the electric motor according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the waterproof device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are respectively a side elevational view and a partial longitudinal cross-sectional view of the waterproof device for the electric motor according to the present invention.
- the same component members as those of FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed explanations thereof will be dispensed with.
- a reference numeral 11 designates a starter.
- a stator 13 of a d.c. electric motor 12 is fixed between the front bracket 1 as the cylindrical front frame and the rear bracket 2 as the cylindrical rear frame.
- the stator 13 has both end parts of its yoke 14 joined in groove fitting to both front bracket 1 and the rear bracket 2.
- Magnetic poles 15 made of a ferrite permanent magnet material are glued to the inner peripheral surface of the yoke 14 with an adhesive agent.
- An annular elastic member 16 of rubber or another elastic material having a number of recesses or grooves 16a is attached onto the front bracket 1, the rear bracket 2, and the yoke 14 in a manner to be opposite to the outer peripheral surface of the yoke 14 and to cover the split portion between the two brackets 1 and 2.
- a lead-out portion 17 having an insertion port 19, into which a power supply lead wire 18 of the above-mentioned d.c. electric motor 12 can be intromitted under pressure is formed in the elastic member 16 so as to be positioned between the rear bracket 2 and the yoke 14.
- a connector 20 for connecting the power supply lead wire 18 is fixed to a terminal bolt 21 of the magnetic switch 4.
- an armature 22 which is energized by the stator 13 and brought into rotation by electric conduction from the power supply lead wire 18 through a commutator brush (not shown in the drawing).
- a reference letters A and B indicate the groove fitting parts of the yoke 14.
- the elastic member 16 covers the groove fitting parts A and B, and is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the front bracket 1, the rear bracket 2, and the yoke 14 as well as the power supply lead wire 18, the sealing property of this portion of the electric motor can be securely maintained with a single member.
- the elastic member 16 protects the outer peripheral surface of the stator 13 with its elasticity, any possible damage to the magnetic poles 15 due to external shock can be prevented.
- the elastic member 16 has a function of sealing the clearances at the groove fitting parts A and B, and the clearance between the power supply lead wire 18 and the insertion port 19.
- the present invention is not limited to this embodiment alone, but the elastic member 23 may have a grommet 23a formed integrally therewith, which serves to seal a portion of a shift lever 24 of the starter 11, as shown in FIG. 4.
- the elastic member 23 is in contact with the shift lever 24 through a spacer 25, and a notch 26a is formed at the groove fitting part C of the yoke 26.
- a reference numeral 27 designates an over-running clutch to be spline-connected in a freely slidable manner on the rotational shaft 28 of the armature 22.
- the present invention is designed to attach the elastic member onto the frame body of the electric motor in a manner to cover the split portion of the frame body, and to form in this elastic member a lead-out portion having an insertion hole to enable a power supply lead wire of the electric motor to be pushed into it, the waterproofing function of the motor can be secured and its operational reliability can be improved. Further, by covering the outer peripheral surface of the stator or the electric motor with the elastic member, the stator can be protected from any external shock by the elasticity of the member.
